Could your job be better performed by a robot? Maybe, if you work in telemarketing, tax preparation, or modeling, according to a recent report from Oxford University.

Carl Benedikt Frey and Michael A. Osborne looked at the ways technology has complemented – or sometimes supplemented – human workers over the course of history.

One thing they found: this is not new. The researchers cite efforts in 1589 by William Lee of Britain to obtain a patent for his stocking frame knitting design. Queen Elizabeth I denied his request, pointing to the impact Lee's invention would have on employment.

"The concern over technological unemployment is hardly a recent phenomenon," they wrote. "Throughout history, the process of creative destruction, following technological inventions, has created enormous wealth, but also undesired disruptions."

The researchers ranked 702 occupations by how "computerizable" they are. Some careers, such as recreational therapists and audiologists, seem secure from technology for the next decade or two. Telemarketers, title examiners, and sewer work topped the list of computerizable careers.

The researchers noted that routine, non-cognitive tasks aren't the only ones threatened by technology. Autonomous driverless cars, like those produced by Google, could eventually replace transportation and logistics workers. Production, office, and administrative workers are also at risk. The researchers noted that many service occupations, which have seen growth in recent decades, would be highly threatened by technology.

Computerization will prinicipally affect low-wage and low-skill jobs, according to the researchers.

"Our ﬁndings thus imply that as technology races ahead, low-skill workers will reallocate to tasks that are non-susceptible to computerization – i.e., tasks requiring creative and social intelligence," the researchers wrote. 'For workers to win the race, however, they will have to acquire creative and social skills."
